I actually agree with this. I think there are some parallels to him and Prohm. Bad gameday coaches. When the initial plan goes bunk, there is almost never a counter punch. Can't adjust on the fly. Guy is a hell of a recruiter though, which Prohm wasn't bad at either in his own right. I think he's better than Steve, don't get me wrong, but I just see some parrells.
A guy like Rondo would still be a high first round pick today. If you can't shoot (and Rondo has developed a decent jumper), you need to bring a lot else to the table and Rondo did. Great defender who was big enough to guard wings too, incredibly smart passer and play maker, very good rebounder for his size.
In addition to being a freak athlete even amongst the NBA freaks, Westbrook is 6’3” with a 6’8” wingspan. Chris Paul is a better size comp, but neither of their games really resemble Tyrese’s. I don’t watch a ton of NBA anymore, but I’m struggling to find a comp for him, which probably tells you something.
Ironically the best NBA comp right now I can think of at this stage in TH development was Lindell Wigginton who of course had to grind it out in the G-League to become a fringe NBA player this year. Obviously Hunter is still young and has time to develop offensively.
This was what I was thinking as well. However, LW was/is a much better shooter. Hunter is a great defensive player and a good facilitator but, due to his size, is going to have to make huge strides in being a more consistent outside threat in order to make it to the NBA.
welp, good riddance. I'll pay attention twice next year, but that's it.
Hilton will spit hot fire at him, but that is to be expected under these circumstances.
Don't players who think they're good go to a program that is better than the one they came from? Not sure why he decided to take a step down..
Maybe the student section can fling some Monopoly bucks at him...
Aaron Judge would play for the Royals if KC offered him double what the Yankees do...
I appreciate his contribution to our amazing season, but will not root for him or his new team. In fact, I hope that UT continues its pattern of substandard results. He’s likely a whole lot wealthier today - but hopefully he learns that the grass isn’t always greener, even if you’re making a lot of green. Go Cyclones!
Well we have a few guys we will run at him defensively, all longer than he is. Gonna be fun having a few run out dunks
I find it so odd that a kid coming to Iowa State - a decision which displays a certain level of belief and loyalty in a program/staff whilst turning down paying suitors in the process - would leave for freaking TEXA$. The foremost f***king trash bin, backwater, disreputable heap of jizz rags program possible. I can accept that he wants to move on from a program to "get his". BUT TEXA$$$$$$$$?!
